Definitely mesmerising the first time! We have ribbon fibre these days as well which is very cool too. Thank you :)

160ms is essentially optimal and you can get down to about 200ms AFAIK.

2,3 and 4 android can do. 1 is very fair but could be achieved with an old phone, maybe with a rubbish battery plugged in.

This is a really fair example.

I think every single pixel I've ever had could share wifi or 4g/5g.

I never really understand why you'd rather have one of these over just enabling "hotspot" on your phone. Ethernet is the only reason I can think of

Vast majority of the civil service is outside of London these days, I suspect disproportionally so. BBC similarly, spends the vast majority of it's money outside London. If you were from anywhere near Manchester, Glasgow or Liverpool y

You are basically spot on. Thermal expansion (primarily) but you need it to be evenly spread for lots of boring reasons like as you mentioned axial force reduction, fatigue life, anchor load limits and so on. These tunnels just use forced a

Totally insane! Thus far I have been fortunate to be buying pre-price crunch stock but I don't think it's going to last much longer. Really wouldn't want to be buying in 3 months time.

In theory I assume you could rebuild an 'open GitHub actions' that maintained the existing API and used webhook events to trigger a workflow and github API to post status back into GitHub.

Even if they're were doing this (I highly doubt it) so much would be lost to distillation I'm not convinced there would be much that actually got in, apart from perhaps internal codenames or whatever which will be obvious.

Unless we get AGI.

Definitely single thread performance and storage are the main reasons not to use an old server. A 6 year old server didn't have nvme drives, so SATA SSD at best. That's a major slow down if disk is important. Aside from that there

I mean you could use training GPUs for inference right? That would be use case number 1 for a 8 * a100 box in a couple of years. It can also be used for non IO limited things like folding proteins or other 'scientific' use cases.

5 years is a long time for GPUs maybe but normal servers have 7 year lifespans in many cases fwiw. These GPUs I assume basically have potential longevity issues due to the density, if you could cool it really really well I imagine no proble

To be honest ai datacentres would be a rip and replace to get back to normal datacentre density, at least on the cooling and power systems. Maybe useful for some kind of manufacturing or industrial process.

They're absolutely not, but I think 18 is also young to go into the workplace straight from school. I think the most valuable things I learned from my degree were about myself and how to work well with others, manage my time that kind

You can do it like this, or (easier IMO if your router doesn't support it) you can just setup a raspberry pi as a VPN router then set you dhcp server on your router to hand out the RPIs address. You can then switch on to the normal con

Upto 0.7 per mile I think? That includes an allowance for depreciation so it's not really a true marginal cost, however for a moment let's assume it is. If the bus was $3 do you think it's wise that it's cheaper to drive
174.
by matt-p 11mo ago
Marginal cost of a mile is about 20-40c including wear and tear. If you've got a car already that's all that matters

That would be amazing and is worth serious effort and resources. However I wonder if you could find one country that's managed to do this successfully (eradication not reduction)? It's often not really about housing and healthcare

I'm pro paying for them to get whatever housing and healthcare they need via taxes, just like everyone else. It's not like it's that simple though. Giving someone a house and a doctor will not get them off heroin on its own a

All public transport should be like $1. You need to charge something to keep the crackheads out, but it should not be enough that people think 'oh I better walk/cycle/drive instead to save money'

Secondly it forces European companies to all have a 'USP' for high privacy which is useful when selling abroad as well. Becoming a byword for privacy and therefore trust/security is absolutely not a bad thing and comes at ver

I think there's something like 24 national languages in the EU. I can hardly blame hetzner for not translating their services to say polish and think it's entirely the wrong approach anyway. It's really true language is a big

They will be doing a mix of peering both across free PNIs and very low cost IXP ports, with the reminder going down transit like Colt or cogent. Probably average cost of the order of about $1 per 20TB of egress in Europe and NA markets. The
